Life Within a Tarot Deck

Freaks and Jerks

It took 3 days for Katsuki to recover from the initial shock that he had actually gotten a Recommendation to the most renowned High School that made the most honorable Heroes. He had thought for sure he lost that chance because of a few things, but Judge Periwinkle just tossed those charges and gave him a fucking seal of approval.

Now he is heading towards the Serpentine residence with his bag of clothes for a few days. They still needed to study for graduation, but at this time they are being homeschooled. Aldera got shut down with a massive fine, all the teachers were fired and their licenses revoked, and 2 teachers were arrested for solicitation. The blonde could only think that they may have been one of the few that Izuku had to service. Sick fucks.

Mitsuki wanted to drive Katsuki to the Serpentines today, but the blonde convinced her that he still needed some time to get his thoughts together. He has accepted the fact that God has given him a second chance, and that Izuku has forgiven him. Mitsuki didn't even punish him when he revealed what he had said, stating that the smack from the verdanette was worth it.

"Fuck this, it will take some time for this ache to pass. Even if they forgive me, I still can't forgive myself."

The blonde reached a park not too far from the destination and decided to take a few minutes for the sun to wash over him. It felt good and he allowed it to wash over the cold that was coursing through his mind. I need to stop degrading myself, it is fucking depressing. How was Izuku able to deal with this when I-no that is in the past, you need to move on Katsuki.

"Get away from me, you Freak!"

Katsuki looked around where a man was throwing stuff at what he could describe as a brown fox with a backpack. What the hell?

"I'm sorry sir, I was just heading home from school." It said, now revealing it was either a creature with human intelligence or a mutant.

"Don't you dare talk to me! Freaks like you should be dead!"

The guy suddenly kicked the fennec look-alike across the face with a stone-covered leg. The creature yelped and slid across the sidewalk, now unmoving. Katsuki began to see red as he remembered something 5 years prior.

"Hey, Brat!!"

A man walked towards a greenette who was working on his homework. Izuku looked up in surprise and fear. The girl behind the man was looking at him with a wicked smile.

"H-hai!"

"Did you touch my daughter!?" The man accused, seeing red. Izuku shook his hands in massive confusion.

"Wha? Who? I haven't touched anybody!!" He yelled back, now backing up from the deranged man.

"Yes, he did, daddy! This Quirkless jerk grabbed my breasts!" The girl retaliated, putting on fake tears.

"The Freak is trying to hit on my daughter!?" The man yelled back and raised his fist and punched Izuku in the head, causing him to yelp and fall to the ground. He then proceeded to kick him in the stomach and face. "Freaks like you should be dead!!"

"Hey!"

The man stopped his assault and looked at the blonde leaning against the tree. "You have made your point, but if you kill him it is still illegal. And I don't want to deal with his mom if he does croak."

The man stood there in shock for a few minutes as he sensed the bloodlust coming from the blonde. It took him a while to try to keep his bladder in check. "Keep a leash on that Freak."

"Whatever," He said as he allowed the two to walk past him. However, once the girl got to him, he whispered. "Lie like that again, and you will be six feet under. Got it?"

The girl took the threat to heart, especially since she saw an Oni instead of Katsuki. "H-h-hai!!!"

She ran towards her father and once they were out of range, the blonde walked towards Izuku and took a look at the damage. He inwardly cringed when the moment he touched the greenette, his friend recoiled as he was expecting more kicks.

"Dammit, Deku. How can I keep you safe when the world just makes things hell for you?"

"Hey, cocksucker! What has she done to you?" Katsuki yelled at the guy with such malice since the memory sent his anger level from 10 to 1,000. "Harming a girl that has done nothing, that is a one-way ticket to hell, bud!"

The guy looked around and locked eyes. "You stay out of this or you will get a beating too."

Ok...anger level 10,000.

Katsuki just smirked and held out his hands in a baring way. The guy flinched as he could immediately feel the bloodlust. "Oh really? From what I can see you are just a nobody who likes to assault people who are different for your own sick pleasure. I am sure the Police Force would love to hear your account of assaulting an anthromorph."

"I-I, but the bitch started it!" He stammered and blanched in horror when the blonde took a picture of him.

"Ok, mugshot to the Detective, coming up." Katsuki said with a wicked smile, and the man just ran from the park, not daring to take a chance on the explosive blonde's threat.

"Coward." He growled eventually, and still sent the photo to the Detective. At least the threat worked and would have kicked him anyway since my Quirk is still inactive. Walking towards the fennec look-alike, he could see that she was trying to get up, but the movements were sluggish.

"Hey, you ok?" Katsuki asked, gently putting a hand on his back. The girl did not even respond to his touch. "Oi."

"Vee..."

That's not good, I need to get her help. Recovery Girl should be at the Serpentine's for Zuku's bi-weekly checkup.

After checking for any bleeding in the back of her head, he gently picked her up and quickly and safely ran towards the Serpentine Residence.
